Jafo Embarks On A Road Trip

And only 36 years since the last one.....

from WinCustomize Forums

Tomorrow morning [Friday, Aus time] I'm on a plane to the US and Canada.   All things going well [the US doesn't chuck me out for being unintelligible] I'll be visiting all the great guys and gals at Stardock HQ.

Yay for me.....  It's been a loooong time coming.  I've known these guys for about a decade so it'll be a 'buzz' to finally catch up with them in 'Real Life' [tm].

In all of my history with skinners/skinning I've only met 3 skinners before, all of whom were from Oz, like me.....so this will likely be sensory overload [or something]...;)

I have a beat-up old laptop that'll hopefully keep me in contact here on my travels....and if I get a chance on the road I'll try to post the odd pic or two, but I'll likely not be on quite as frequently/long as is usual.

If you've the inclination to PM or otherwise contact me re issues with Wincustomize and/or its inhabitants it may be a better bet for the next few weeks to badger Island Dog in lieu.....[he yearns for your contact]....;)

Hopefully I can get one or two group mug-shots at Stardock on the 16th to show you what an ugly - er - wonderful bunch of people they all are....

Take care of each other...I'll be busy taking photos....;)

Cheers,

Paul.

You're going to love taking the train through the Rockies, and you'll probably get to see the fall colours in Northern Ontario. They are amazing. I hope you enjoy it.

Was he planning to do that? I agree that the ride to Calgary from Vancouver is truly breathtaking, and a tribute to the brave men who built the railroad.

That'd be right... buggering off without me again. :-" :X ;P

Never mind about room in the bags for you and your daughter, what about room for the tinnies?

Reply #38 from WinCustomize Forums Top

what about room for the tinnies?

Yup, that's more important.... otherwise Jafo's going without a decent beer while away. :-"

Not only that. after sampling Bud and the like, he'd come back calling their stuff "cat's piss." :rofl:

...otherwise Jafo's going without a decent beer while away.

To quote Monty Python from their show at the Hollywood Bowl (1982) - the Aussie act, by Bruce, Bruce and Bruce:

(Standing proclaiming, while throwing cans of Fosters to the audience)

Your beer over here, compared to ours, is like making love in a canoe - fucking close to water....

That can be hazardous if you don't swim too well... miss a stroke and you puncture the canoe. :-" :rofl:

Yes, primitive aren't they... ;)

The problem with L.A. is that you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.  ;)

Here's some of my eating spots when you get hungry:

Aunt Kizzy's Back Porch (Louisiana style cooking, five star food)

523 Washington Blvd.  Marina Del Rey (301) 578-1005

Rajun Cajun (Cajun food so good, makes your toes wiggle)

422 Pier Ave. Hermosa Beach (310) 376-7878

Rosa's Mexican Restaurant (The Super Deluxe Burrito is the best in the city, my spot since 1975 and the recipe has never changed)

322 Pacific Coast Highway Redondo Beach (310) 374-9094

Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles (Try the "Scoe's Special" with my complements)

Five locations depending on where you're staying including the original in Hollywood on Sunset and Gower.

Enjoy Dude;

:thumbsup:  

UPDATE:  You kinda picked a bad time to visit So. Cal with several counties going through extreme brush fires Jafo.  Watch out for heavy traffic due to evacuations and detours.

I'm 400 miles north and we're getting the smoke from down there.

:annoyed:  I Know!  Like LA need more pollution!#:(  

It's cool.  We lock 'em all up at Sea World in San Diego where they're forced to hand out pamplets to their fellow tourists!
